Feinstein Unveils Green Deal Alternative After Kid Confrontation

Feinstein expressed doubts about the radical proposal that would cost trillions in taxpayer dollars.

"You know what's interesting about this group? I know what I'm doing", a defensive Feinstein said to the children. You come in here and say it has to be my way or the highway.

"Well the reason why I can't is because there's no way to pay for it", Feinstein responded.

"Unfortunately, it was a brief meeting but I want the children to know they were heard loud and clear".

Ocasio-Cortez - who has not actually endorsed the new venture featuring her likeness - amazed the comic book community recently, quoting Alan Moore's graphic novel Watchmen in a tweet to her critics: "None of you understand".

The freshman congresswoman clarified on Twitter Sunday night that she would not disclose the address of her district residence because of safety concerns. "The issue has gotten worse".

In the video, Feinstein also asks a girl how old she is as the girl says politicians should listen to the people they represent. The worker said that Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts were the only ones getting mail at the address. The resulting 1921 starvation killed 5 to 8 million people in the old USSR and the starvation precipitated by the Red Chinese agricultural "reform" policies killed up to 45 million people between the years 1959 and 1961 and it remains a taboo subject in Red China to this day.

When a protester shouted at the senator in 2017 that she should take a stand and automatically oppose Trump's nomination of Neil M. Gorsuch to the Supreme Court rather than examine his record first, Feinstein responded coolly: "Young man, I've made more stands in my lifetime than you are old, by far".

One activist countered, "we're trying to promote the Green New Deal". Because we could have had three, four, five shots at this. "And so it's basically, like, there's scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very hard, and it does lead, I think, young people, to have a legitimate question".

"Part of walking the walk is understanding that everyone is going to have a little bit of a struggle", said Trent.

In the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has created a select committee on addressing climate change, including several new House members who support bold action.

Ocasio-Cortez also suggested that having children is unethical today - because "there's scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very hard".

"This morning I spoke with a small group of children, young adults and parents from the Sunrise Movement, who were delivering a letter in support of the Green New Deal resolution". She also discussed her own climate change legislation, which she claimed rivals the Green New Deal and has a "much better chance of passing".
